power steering pump
Steering effort reducer
A power steering pump is the component in a vehicle's power steering system that pressurizes hydraulic fluid, making it easier to turn the steering wheel.
When the pump fails, steering becomes heavy and difficult, especially at low speeds: The mechanic said my power steering pump needs replacing.
Most modern vehicles have moved to electric power steering, eliminating the pump entirely.
